Friendship

It’s something of an early Christmas present to see my poem “At Nemo’s Bar” appearing at Eunoia Review today.

This is the first of ten of my poems that ER‘s editor, Ian Chung, has selected for publication over the coming days (I’m still a little taken aback by this, to be honest) and I’m incredibly grateful to Ian for giving so much time and space to my writing. Another of my poems, “Settlement”, appeared here in 2016.

Best wishes for anything you may be celebrating over the coming period.

I’m really honoured that guest editor Oz Hardwick selected my poem “Ride” as the Editor’s Choice Poem of the Month for March at Algebra Of Owls. It’s the first award of any description I’ve ever received for one of my poems (might have been one in primary school?), so I guess I can retire now…
